PONTIANAK, West Kalimantan: Community leaders are criticizing
the municipality's plan to construct a Rp 2.5 billion (US$1.037
million) official residence for the Pontianak mayor.

Antara news agency quoted Ibrahim Saleh, an informal leader,
as saying here Thursday that the city had more urgent needs such
as clean water supply, sewage treatment and improving the city's
roads.

"The local administration will certainly have a greater asset
from the construction of a new residence for the mayor, but the
plan should be reconsidered," he said. (swe)
